Nicole shares two younger daughters with husband Keith Urban

"And I am an example of that tolerance and that’s what I believe – that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I’m open here.

"I think that’s so important because if that is taken away from a child, to sever that in any child, in any relationship, in any family – I believe it’s wrong. So that’s our job as a parent, to always offer unconditional love."

"I want my little girls to have this on their shelf and to look at it and go, 'Every time my mama didn't put me to bed, it's because of this.'"

More recently, Nicole opened up about her family's time in lockdown together, revealing that she had been enjoying the simple things in life, such as getting up to make breakfast for her girls.
